TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Community vision and interagency alignment: a community planning process to promote active transportation JO - American journal of public health A1 - DeGregory, Sarah Timmins A1 - Chaudhury, Nupur A1 - Kennedy, Patrick A1 - Noyes, Philip A1 - Maybank, Aletha SP - 654 EP - 657 VL - 106 IS - 4 N2 - In 2010, the Brooklyn Active Transportation Community Planning Initiative launched in 2 New York City neighborhoods. Over a 2-year planning period, residents participated in surveys, school and community forums, neighborhood street assessments, and activation events-activities that highlighted the need for safer streets locally. Consensus among residents and key multisectoral stakeholders, including city agencies and community-based organizations, was garnered in support of a planned expansion of bicycling infrastructure. The process of building on community assets and applying a collective impact approach yielded changes in the built environment, attracted new partners and resources, and helped to restore a sense of power among residents.
